Carnival theme 2018 – Animal Antics

Wombourne Carnival will be back this year on the first Sunday in July with a theme of “Animal Antics”. The carnival will be taking place at the Civic Centre on Sunday 1st July 2018, along with the much-loved Carnival Parade taking place through the village.

The parade will start at 12pm to allow residents and guests of Wombourne to line the parade route to cheer on the floats and follow them up to the main carnival site for the official opening at 1pm. The Parade will start at Wombourne Civic Centre, passing down Gravel Hill, Common Road, Giggetty Lane, Planks Lane, Church Road, High street and back to Wombourne Civic Centre. There will be temporary road closures during the parade so we ask for your patience during this time and hope people join in the festivities.

If you or your community group – including Schools, Brownies/Guides, Cubs/Scouts, dance groups, Vintage cars and pubs among others – can join the parade, please let us know by email or posting on our Facebook or Twitter pages.

The carnival will have a wide variety of stalls made up of independent traders, local businesses, community groups and local charities as well as lots of family entertainment including a funfair, bands, music groups, dance/drama groups, women’s institute event and the Wombourne Village Quacky Races.
